Minitube has been working fine since version 1.8. Two days ago it started to crash. every time, when opening a video. The initial screen appears for less then a second, then the program closes.

I have two computers. One is a home built desktop, the other is a Sony laptop. The problem occurred on both computers at the same time, so I am sure that I am not the only one with this problem. Both computers are running LM 13 Cinnamon. The only significant difference between the two systems is that one has current updates while the other hasn't been updated for a several weeks. Therefore, this problem doesn't seem to be related to updates.

A few days ago I did install k3b on both systems, but minitube was working after that. Nonetheless I tried uninstalling k3b. I have also purged and reinstalled minitube, purged and reinstalled both the adobe-flashplugin. and the mint-flashplugin (separately of course). Google hasn't provided anything useful, though there are posts about the previous problems.

I will be grateful for any feed back about this.
